Chaoping is still waiting for the old general to return to the court day by day in the Shuaifu, and everyone's hearts are also very calm, thinking that the old general will soon return to the court. However www.biquge.info the old general at the border is planning the last large-scale battle, which is the last battle with the Liao army, although the Liao army has suffered heavy casualties, but this time he is pouring the strength of the whole country to invade the Central Plains, so this battle cannot be lost. The generals of the various departments were waiting for Yanmen Pass, and the old general looked at the map and thought carefully, the soldiers, horses, money, and food were in charge of the country's uncle, and they were already in place. The next day, the old general Shuai Taidian will prepare to fight the Liao army, at this time the soldiers have already been ready, with the old marshal order, everyone neatly out of the city array, ten miles outside the city gate, the two armies held each other, did not take the initiative to attack.

At noon, the old general saw that the Liao army was facing the sun, and the people were sleepy and tired, so he could take the initiative to attack, so he sent orders to the three armies. The million army rushed straight to the Liao army's formation, and the Liao army put up a defensive formation to resist, but they were very brave in terms of cavalry, and they still couldn't talk about the formation. This battle has been fought for a long time, and it took two times to see the difference, the Liao army was defeated, they retreated in a very orderly manner, the old general saw very clearly in the rear army, the Liao army as a whole was evacuating to the rear, but...

"Ah, it's not good, pass on my military order, Mingjin withdraws the troops. The old general suddenly realized. He is worthy of being the commander of the three armies, and he is also worthy of being the elite general of the Great Song Dynasty, and the speed of maneuvering is very fast, starting from the order of the old general, in a short period of time, the troops have shrunk their strength and are ready to evacuate back. At this time, a large number of cavalry suddenly came out from both sides, surging towards the Chinese army at a very fast speed, and the fierce generals in the Chinese army were like clouds, and more than ten generals immediately came out to lead the troops to block, and the others quickly withdrew to the city.

Killed a few black shadows in the enemy army, and rushed straight towards the old general, these people were dressed in black robes, holding scimitars, very brave, and everywhere they went, there were rivers of blood. Hong Biao said: "General, go quickly, these people are the eighteen horsemen of Youyun." "Ahh Soon they were in front of the Chinese army, and several of the generals were defeated and they were already beheaded. Hong Biao Luohu and several generals stood in front of the eighteen cavalry of the clouds, and the old generals kept evacuating to the city. Although these generals are very outstanding in martial arts, they are no match for the eighteen horsemen of the clouds, but fortunately, everyone is not injured, but they are losing and retreating. Due to the large number of people, the eighteen cavalry of Youyun could not rush past the Chinese army to attack the old general, at this time, the boss of the eighteen cavalry of Youyun took out an eagle hook through the cloud arrow from the arrow pot behind his back, and shot straight at the old general, only to see the old general's golden gun sweep, and then swept the flying arrow to the ground. After taking everyone to defend hard, after more than an hour, they finally all withdrew to the city, quickly closed the city gate, there were many soldiers on the city wall to resist the Liao army and the unknown origin of the troops of the attack, the ladder up one will fight down one, but there are too many people, there are many people pouring into the city, and then fight with swords. Seeing that the Liao army outside the city returned to the outside of the city to join those forces, the old general complained: "Alas, we have been tricked, their Liao army is defeated, I didn't expect them to unite with other tribes in the grassland." ”

The enemy attacked in waves, and the soldiers fought bloodily for three days and three nights, but the Liao army still did not capture the city, so they camped fifteen miles away. At this time, the old general summoned all the generals to discuss the battle plan, because the city here had already been attacked and destroyed. The old general proposed to abandon the city here, and then the old general withdrew to Fenzhou with a large army, gave up several border cities, rested his troops and horses here, and planned to deal with them again. General Luo Hu had already explored the enemy's reality and had just returned to Fenzhou City to report to the old general. It turned out that the soldiers and horses invited by the Liao army were the soldiers and horses of Western Xia, as well as the unknown tribes of the grassland, and I don't know when the general of the Liao army, Yelu Huge, invited the eighteen horsemen of Youyun. This Youyun Eighteen Cavalry can be regarded as a killer organization, and it can be regarded as a soldier, they used to be called Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and they have been living in the desert since they left the army, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, they are proficient in various martial arts, military forensics, etc., and are good at riding and shooting, which is equivalent to special forces. When the army withdrew from Yanmen Pass and other prefectures and counties, Youyun Eighteen Cavalry rushed into the city, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil. These are also due to the grievances of the Song people and the Liao people, since ancient times, there have been many wars in the border passes, the people of the two countries are miserable, the Song army will kill the Liao army when they see it, and the Liao army will slaughter them when they see the Song people in Liao, they are enemies of each other, and it is not easy to resolve it, this cloud eighteen horses are just a legend that no one has ever seen, but they didn't expect to appear here now, and no one knows their life history.

In the next two months, the old general led his troops to carry out several strikes on the Liao army, and fought many times, during which everyone won and lost each other, although there were many casualties, but it was only a small matter for such a large army of the two sides, and it would not affect the combat effectiveness of the army. The old general knew that the war here was not optimistic, and he had to be prepared to fight a protracted war, so he discussed with the uncle of the supervising army, collected grain and grass from all over the country, and prepared to continue the war, this uncle was the uncle who sat under the emperor when Chaoping and Li Luoyun went to the palace for a banquet, his name is Guo Kui, his nephew is the tenth prince, he has always been valued by the emperor, he is low-key and serious. After discussing with the old general, Uncle Guo promised the old general that he would raise 100,000 deniers of grain and grass in the surrounding area in three months. The old general thought to himself, fortunately, with Uncle Guo, the logistics minister, he could not have any worries. In leading troops to fight, the old general is familiar with the road, and it is precisely because of this that the old general did not wipe out the whole army, saved most of his troops and withdrew back, and fought with the enemy for so long. The 100,000 Li family army had already made all kinds of defenses outside the city, just waiting for the old general to order to go out and engage the enemy, if the enemy came to attack it was impossible, the defense facilities were very complete, plus the strong city walls and various watchtowers. In addition to settling down in Fenzhou, the old general would take his generals to comfort some junior officers and sergeants below every day. Whether it was the entire army or the 100,000 Li family army, everyone was ready to drive out the Tartars.

The emperor received frequent war reports from the border passes in the capital, and he was very worried, he was worried about the war ahead, so he ordered to recruit soldiers and horses, and set up a second-way reinforcement army in the capital, intending to support the old general, but who would lead this army? Xiangguo Chen Shun'an proposed that when the uncle of the country finished raising grain and grass, he would go to Beijing to command the 30,000 rescue army, and everyone would work step by step, and Chaoping was waiting at home for his grandfather to return to the court.
